Unable to connect phone to PC for file transfer

I have had the phone for just under two weeks and all seemed to be running fine until I plugged the device into the PC recently, I changed the connection mode from charging to MTP but nothing happened, I followed the instructions in this thread but still no success. I've attached a screenshot showing the discrepancy in the setting and notification bar.

The notification bar shows charging only whilst in the settings it shows MTP, though the PC does not detect it. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

You have to tap the notification (it will open a popup) and change to MTP each time you connect to the computer.

Yeah I know that, but when I tap MTP nothing happens. I've never had a problem with other phones running MM.

You have this problem since first day? You tried on an other computer?

On the first day when I connected the phone to my PC everything was fine, I installed Xperia Companion and was able to access the internal storage/memory card. I tried on another PC and again all seemed fine. It is just on my main PC, there is a driver error (according to Windows device manager). Updating fails, uninstalling and plugging the device back in also doesn't work.

I think I have found the cause, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...soft-wpd/9f900903-50d8-4935-939d-5dbf8d6bd1d0
Now I need to figure out a way to remove the faulty driver!

Did you enanle usb debugging?

You don't need to enable debugging to use MTP

Problem solved!
Problem solved, it is caused by the new driver update (Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762), it seems to have issue with some devices-specifically Mediatek powered ones. The solution is simple, uninstall the driver update via Windows, if that isn't possible then use system restore, if even that fails (like in my case) then the driver can be manually removed using command prompt, as explained here. Now the device connects fine, just like it used to.
As far as I am aware the update has now been pulled so shouldn't install. I triggered the installation of the update myself after manually checking for updates-that's the last time I'll be doing that. :silly:

Fix
Apparently there's a very simple solution. Same thing happened with me a few days ago, search for " How to Fix MTP! problem in windows 10 " on Youtube uploaded by " Infinity Studio " watch this it solved my problem. (Sorry can't post link as m still a junior member)

Trying to backup a locked Android Phone

So I have a small problem that has giving me a headache the past few days. I got an old Nokia 6.1 from my mom & was asked to get the pictures & documents from it. I removed her pattern lock, because I was annoyed to use it all the time. A couple of days later, the phone has out of the blue a security pin. Which obviously no one knows, because no one configured it...
I spent hours looking different ways to extract the data or to bypass the lock & sofar I think I ran out of all the options.
Here is my current state & I would really appreciate some advice how to proceed.
1. Find my device:
The phone is on the list. But it shows that the last activity was on the 10th january & can't be reached it even though it's connected to the internet via my mobile data. Furthermore it seems that I wouldn't be able to unlock it anyways because it only gives me two options "Call the Phone" & "Set up secure & delete".
2. Installing Aroma to extract the data/remove lock files:
I can't do that because there is no custom recovery installed on the phone. Just the stock.
3. Installing a custom recovery:
I can't install/flash anything on the phone because the developer options, usb debugging & bootloader are not unlocked/enabled.
I came as far as being able to see my dive with adb on my pc, but I couldn't flash anything of it, because the signature fails.
I'm now posting this threar, to see if anybody has some advice for me, how I could get the pictures from the phone.
Thank you all in advance~

The door to any Android device is ADB.
You say
came as far as being able to see my dive with adb on my pc,

hence ADB obviously is fullly working, means it should be possible to pull out the data in question by means of ADB.

Hi, thank you for your answer, I have expressed myself wrong/mixed adb & fastboot up. What I wanted to say, is that I can see the device via fastboot. Unfortunately not over adb.

as you can also see in the screen
If I understood what I read, there is no way to access the phone like this, is that correct?
Is there anything else I can do?

The Phone itself gives me an option to "Apply Update from ADB". My knowledge about this stuff is barely anything. But is there a way for example I could install/update an android version/new system without losing the internal data? At that point I don't care about the phone working properly, as I would like to get the pictures from it & root + wipe everything from it.

push

As "Apply Update from ADB" implies this option is used to flash an OS's update provided by OEM/carrier: updating an OS doesn't affect user data stored on phone.
Have you ever tried to exit phone's fastboot mode by running Fastboot commands
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot

I ended up factory resetting the phone. This Thread can be closed

If you have usb debugging on. Then you can use ADB. You can try to mount user partition and you can copy that partition.

Question ROG phone 5s not recognized in fastboot mode, but ADB works... Windows driver issue?

Hi All,
I bought a ROG phone 5s (ZS676KS) direct from ASUS and I've been trying to root it all week. The firmware version is WW_18.1220.2111.160.
So far, I have been able to unlock the bootloader using Asus' app. My phone displays the unlocked bootloader warning on every boot.
I can't make fastboot work... the "adb reboot bootloader" command does work. I can also boot using the power + volume up button. But the "fastboot devices" command always comes up empty.
I found two possible reasons why fastboot doesn't work. So far I failed to fix either one.
First, the "OEM unlocking" option is missing in my developer options menu. I have the "USB debugging" option checked off. But many of the guides I read online say to allow OEM unlocking and I can't do that. But I've also seen people say that it doesn't matter. So, I don't know if this is a real problem. I can't find any reference to this problem except in Samsung phones. I tried the recommended fix but it didn't work.
Second, something's wrong with the fastboot driver on my computer. When get my phone into fastboot mode and plug it into the computer, device manager shows a device called "ASUS_I005D" with an orange caution icon on it. The error message in the properties menu says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (code 28)". This is probably the real problem.

Windows isn't finding a driver with its online driver search. I spent a few hours playing with Windows drivers to no avail. But maybe I missed something. I did find "ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212" online and it didn't help.
I have tried different wires and USB ports and I'm using the side port of the phone instead of the bottom (although I tried the bottom port too). I tried another computer and that didn't work. But this was before I realized what was happening with windows drivers so I didn't check the device manager. I'm away from home now so I just have access to the one computer for now.
Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver? Or is there another approach I haven't considered? I hope there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the phone. I kind of just bought it without explicitly verifying, assuming the 5s is rootable since the 5 is...
Thanks Everybody,

Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

It's not your device but likely Win 10 playing games with you. First completely uninstall the device driver to clean things up. Reboot your pc into Safe Mode. Plug in your phone from the side connector with a good data capable USB cable. From Device Manager choose "Add Legacy Hardware" from the menu and point the location to where you have saved the latest official Android USB drivers and install. Reboot Windows normally. If things have gone well, you should be able to both ADB & Fastboot into your device.

What a relief.
I am now able to flash my patched boot.img.
Thanks to both of you. I'm off to the races...

For me I just get a Ubuntu iso, boot your computer off a USB stick, install adb and fastboot via apt, and boom, no crappy drivers needed

OnePlus 8 T-Mobile Conversion Problem

Hi all,
I am trying to convert my T-Mobile IN2017 OnePlus 8 to have a global rom. I am currently on 10.5.7.IN55CB and I am following this tutorial here. My bootloader is unlocked (by using the official binaries I got emailed from OnePlus). My PC has driver signature verification off and is in test mode. It seems that my installer is stuck at this point:

because the driver is not installed for recovery I think:
I have tried installing/reinstalling the OnePlus drivers to no avail. The installer runs perfectly fine while in fastboot mode, but does not work once rebooted into recovery. If someone can send me the driver or show what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated!

See my post here:

You're having the same issue I had. You need to install the fastboot drivers while it's connected in that state from your screenshot. Grab the drivers from Foxy Drew's post (linked in mine above), run the installer until it hangs, then update the drivers on the PC. When I did this the flash-all installer immediately kicked back into gear and finished the process.
The problem, I, think, is that you need to install adb drivers and fastboot drivers while the phone is in 3 different boot modes: normal, fastboot/recovery, and bootloader. So you need to get the phone to be recognized in all of those states so you can apply the drivers to the device the PC "sees" when it's connected in each of those states. Every boot mode basically presents itself as a different device to the PC, and that 3rd fastboot mode is hidden until you get to the spot you show in your screenshot.
Hope that works for you.

Thank you so much for your help! I was actually able to get it to work by doing something really similar. I'll post what I did just in case someone runs into this exact issue:
1) I made sure that I had all the drivers installed
2) I did the entire process over again until I got to that part where my device was no longer recognized
3) I went into device manager > IN2017 > update driver > drivers installed on this pc > chose from a list > Android phone > Android bootloader interface
I did this all while the converter was running and my phone was plugged into my pc. Once I did this, the program continued and I was able to finish the install.

Yep, I think that's exactly what I did. I can't remember which fastboot drivers I updated to bit I'll bet they're both the same, and that's the point in the process where I updated drivers as well.
Cheers!

lost my password on Nikon camera with android system

I have recently found my old Nikon S800c, unfortunately i have forgotten the password i have set years ago. The camera has no volume buttons and seemingly no way to get to a bootloader to factory reset it. I've searched through the internet and i cannot find any way to reset/recover my device.
basically lost password of old Nikon s800c with no volume button, usb debugging off and runs android 2.3.3

If there is a way to flash its firmware, flashing the firmware might remove the password.

I just did, it didn't change anything about the android side of things
When you boot up, you are basically using it as a normal digital camera, then you can enter the android side of the device, which i forgot my password of
Here is a more recent video i found which went over how it worked

1. There's no way to enter recovery mode as it doesn't have a volume button
2. It doesn't have a wifi connection and can't connect to one without putting in the password
3. The droidkit thing wont work as it needs the device brand
4. Usb debugging isn't on so i can't use Android sdk tools

How about Universal Hard Reset Tool? Edit: I think that needs usb debugging too….

It wouldn't work either way as it doesn't detect as an phone on my pc, only as a storage device
